Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth Have Billy Ray's Blessing

He continued, “I think Liam’s got a good heart, he’s a smart young man, extremely talented, most importantly, he’s a good person,” Billy Ray gushed.

The “Achey Breaky Heart” star knows all about love and relationships. He’s back together with wife Tish after the pair hit a rough patch. “A year or so ago, I was in New York City and just looking at how crazy my life had spun out of control… sometimes you’ve got to step up to the plate, say 'I’m the dad' and you pull your family together.”

He added, “We just take it one day at a time, live to be happy.”

Billy Ray is keeping busy these days with a new album and a role in the hit Broadway musical “Chicago.” Billy’s new album, “Change My Mind,” is a return to bluegrass and his southern rock roots. Billy said, “I consider myself a hillbilly lyricist. Don’t think I’ll ever paint the Mona Lisa, but I don’t have any desire to.”
